The contested landscape contains its own logics we have yet to discover. Working individually, students will develop a personal, intuitive, and actionable approach to design by proposing an ‘inhabited machine’ for ‘mining’ the contested landscape. The site for the proposal

The studio will travel on a ‘distributed road trip’ to sites throughout the pipeline route. Sites, most within an 8-12 hour drive of St. Louis, have been selected as far south as Houston and as far north as North Dakota.

Working individually, students will develop highly original, articulated, and transformative architectural and urban interventions, addressing emergent forms of energy production, infrastructure, and urbanism in the US, and transnational geospatial conditions relative to energy production.
